Web Notifications First Draft Published

The Web Notification Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of Web Notifications. This specification provides an API to generate simple notifications to alert users outside of the web page. It does not specify exactly how a user agent should display these notifications; the best presentation depends on the device where the user agent is run. When this specificiation refers to displaying notifications on the "desktop", it generally refers to some static display area outside the web page, but may take several forms, including a corner of the user's display, an area within the chrome of the user agent, or the "home" screen of a mobile device.
